Can the Red Rocket station outside of Sanctuary be set up as a player base? If I dump my 'junk' in one crafting table there is it shared with all the crafting tables there? Can I go into edit mode there and clean it up a bit? Do the mole rats ever respawn?

(ps - I'd check myself but I'm at work)

I just feel like I need to get my character away from the group in Sanctuary and do my own thing. I imagine later I'll buy a house in Diamond City or something, but in the mean time I was thinking of roughing it there.

Thanks.

I've been using it as a base for a while, built a wall around it and about 20 or so missile turrets.

I get the occasional group of super mutants that wander too close, but nothing major.

So does this differ from a settlement? You can edit it and craft there but it's never set up for settlers? Just PC home only?

No, it's a settlement. If you have food, water, beds and defense, settlers will arrive. Just forgo putting down a water pump or some crops and you'll be fine though, you can edit it exactly the same as every other settlement.

Super mutants?

What level are you? I haven't built any defenses nor have I had anything attack me there so I wonder if it's based upon your level or they got drawn to your fence and defenses. I just put a bed in the back room and called it home.

Haven't done anything else with it yet. I've been working on the main settlement so far. I also built a staircase to see how many levels we could make a building and it looks like 5 floors is the limit.

I've had them appear around level 25.

I didn't even think about the roof being an option to build upon...I'm borrowing this idea.

Good to know, I'm nowhere near there yet. I'm only level 8.

I just set up a small wall around my base to hopefully prevent anyone from shooting me. Other than that I store all my special goods in there so NPCs don't steal them.

Well that's perfect then. Since I'm trying to get away from the MM in Sanctuary I'll just set up my private home there then.

I built a giant wall around this place with only one way in and its guarded by turrets. I then moved all the crafting stations under the overhang where the pumps are. Put in a single bed. no food or water so hopefully settlers don't shop up. And I have a spare power armor set in the garage. Its my own little shelter since settlers took over the one I built in Sanctuary.

So I assume the mole rats never respawn? Also can you edit the inside of the cave?
